Braun Satin Hair 7 straightener with ST 710 Iontec technology (Personal Care)

Customer Review

My wife and her cousin are both hairdressers by profession. The cousin is an absolute fan of ghd products and also owns the hair straightener of this manufacturer. From this straightener she enthused my wife before until this almost even this device, for the 200 - would have bought. But before we went on the Internet and discovered that the Braun Satin Hair was test winner at Stiftung Warentest and significantly outperformed, as the much more expensive ghd product.

I have ever heard of "ion" which should come out of this thing and that these ions have an influence on the shine of the hair. As humanists I was there distrustful and wanted to know what these ions to do with the shine of your hair or if all this is just signmaking frippery which brings nothing. So I asked my colleagues from the Department of Physics.
In fact, it is so that the ion technology is used in hair styling devices, like hairdryers and hair straighteners, as well as in vacuum cleaners. The sucked air is ionized in the device and this neutralizes the electrostatic effect of these devices. We know this when going through a synthetic - sweater slips, the hairs are from all directions, as if someone had reached into an electrical outlet. This occurs through the use of conventional hair styling devices also. By ion technology this effect is neutralized and the smoothed hair falls smoothly. The structure of the individual hair by electrostatics is aufgesplisst nich, the hair retains its smooth structure. Therefore, the gloss is the spitting image. This even makes sense to me, in as long as the additional cost of such devices is justified.
The Satin Hair has ceramic heating plates with rounded edges, which are supported on springs. The hair glides smoothly between the plates without crunching or chirp. The device is very comfortable to hold and has at the outer end still a ribbing, so you can use the hair straightener with two hands as a second handle. The second hand presses to the unit at the open end. Unlike the more expensive ghd product the temperature is factory set at 155 ° C and can be manually raised or lowered. The ghd straightener, however, always runs on full bottle, which is not very gentle on your hair. That in the more expensive devices, a sensor is to be installed, the missing hair structure individually and the temperature adjusts to the hair structure, I doubt. The hair is the expensive equipment even between two ceramic plates without laser or else a way to measure the thickness of hair.
Ionization can be switched on manually when Satin Hair 7. The display indicates when the device has reached its operating temperature, whether the ion function is switched on and how high the temperature is adjusted. If you switch the power off, will also be displayed when the unit has cooled and can be packed away. The unit has an overheat protection. If the device is not used for a long time in the on state, it switches off automatically.
The result is true. The Satin Hair smoothes the hair gently and well, giving them thanks to the ion technology a beautiful shine. With practice, it is also possible to style curls her hair with the straightener, which last a long time (in fact a contradiction in terms, but it works). And this can also with other straighteners, the main thing, the edges of the heating plates are rounded.
What is a pity is that it is for the Satin Hair no crown cap or locking possibility that the straightener is folded during transportation. Perhaps Brown comes again on such an idea.
Conclusion: A totally-quality, beautifully crafted product that is truly superior with its individual settings and the display expensive items. In this device, the manufacturer has thought of a lot of useful details, for example, the cable is also mounted such that it can not verzwurgeln. The handling is easy, the result leaves nothing to be desired - silky, smooth hair and at a very compelling price!
A device that has even my wife as a professional fully convinced.

PS: Our Coordinator and Lecturer from the Department of Physics has time for fun durchgemessen the straightener in our physics lab, because she was interested in it, if that part really spits ions or if the only "hot air" is what the advertising strategists mortise because so ... It So actually true, because really come out ion - scientifically proven - and probably neutralize the electrons or so, - the rest was technical jargon, which I've no longer got it.
In any case, our physicists create a part now so, prove only to ions in physics classes. :-)
